Hi,

Mendota said that :

Ask Angus to source you a 93150 bracelet with 580 endlinks instead of the stock bracelet. The stock is a 93250 which is actually a SEL stamp. It will add a few days or a week to your delivery time while he gets it, but it is well worth it. He did that for me no problem. Many gen owners actually store the 9315 and use a 93150 for daily wear since it is light years more comfortable. The original bracelet configurations were hair grabbers and by now have considerable stretch, so in most instances the bracelet sits in the watchbox and the watch head is on a 93150 or a Nato or leather band.

I ordered from Ryan, the pure time version.

In pure time's site the watch is pictured with 93150 bracelet and 285 end links markings.

I don't know why it comes with 93250 bracelet.

what is the difference between 93150 and 93250 except the engravings?

Sorry, I 've read too quickly.

But, I believed that Puretime was not selling the 1680 with 93150 and 580 endlinks. (??)

Roro, I did indeed get mine complete with the 93150 and 580 endlinks. The watch does not come with these standard so be sure to look at the QC pics not the sales pics - they show different markings. That is where I discovered the wrong stampings. I asked Angus right away (again I asked him personally, not his staff) if he could swap out the bracelet and endlinks for me with the correct ones. He said absolutely

Sorry, I'm in the hurry.:bored:
Here is a link (in French) where you can see that the main difference is :

Approximate translation

This generation bracelet is cousin of the 93150 except that the tips are SEL (Solid endlinks) 20mm, that means they are an integral part of bracelet.:

Hope that will help you.

 

[GeDi]

yes buddy...

i understand the difference in the solid end links. My point is, that they look apparently the same, because, in order to see the inner part of the end links, you have to remove the bracelet,correct?

Or am i missing something, and they look also different?

Overly technical for me. I'm lost myself with all these damn references! More, I don't have bracelet under my eyes.
Watch is shipped but not yet delivered.:bored:
Long is the road.:

Need a little help here.

Is this crown screwed-in all the way OR its blocked from the crown guards?

Ryan

Exchanged the 93250 bracelet with the 93150 with 285 endlinks...
and after that he found me the correct version of the 93150 with 580 endlinks...

Superb..

 

[Mendota]

Sounds good. Be sure to get a replacement crown. The crown that comes with the watch is a lot bigger than the genuine crown.

 

[GeDi]

where do i find that replacement

 

[Mendota]

I got mine on Ebay from a seller in Switzerland. Do a search for 702, 703 or 7mm vintage crowns and you'll find a few for sale. Someone said there is a guy making rep 702 crowns. That would be awesome.

I read a thread on another forum, about a 6538, but the OP took his rep big crown and he sanded it down himself to change the shape. It turned out amazing. He left the crown on the stem, and then tightened the chuck of a cordless handheld drill around the stem. he then turned on the drill and used a file to carefully sand the inside edges of the crown as it spun. By doing small bits at a time he was able to control the amount of metal he sanded off.

What is the difference between 285 and 580 links?

Also Roro please keep in mind that Josh's version does NOT feature a low beat movement.

Hi guys, thanks for the info. Besides the low beat movement, what are the most imported differences between the angus version and Joshs's? I can't seem to figure out...
many thanks!

The 1680 Sub........THIS is what its all about folks........the pursuit of the perfect Sub! It never ends! ... Slowly,......we're getting there.......

 

[roro6263]

I also bought a 1680 from Ryan and I think he sourced it from PT.
It has a 2846 movement instead of my Josh's version which has a 2836.
The Ryan's has the good stamping between lugs (1680) while my Josh is marqued as 5513 !:blue:
By cons, I got it with a bad bracelet. It's a 93250 with good 580 endlinks. (I saw here or on RWG that a member was wondering why he received the same bracelet from Angus.)
The Josh's version looks like a compromise between the vintage model and the 16610.(IMO)
The Ryan's one seems closest to the vintage model. (IMO)
Crowns also are different etc...

Hope this will can help you:courage:
